Develia.org is a small website, where many Slackware Linux packages (tarballs), usually made for personal use, are stored and maintained by myself.
The primary purpose is to create a public archive, containing software and libraries of various type, everything optimized for i686 architecture and intended to work properly on systems updated to slackware-current. More information about the archive are available in tarballs section and in the FAQ page.

10 Jul 2008 » projects - pywvdial 0.5
Fifth version of pyWvDial, a simple and handy frontend for WvDial. Information in the info panel is now dinamically updated (no need to re-open the panel anymore) and there is new information displayed as well, such as connection time and bytes sent/received.

27 Jun 2008 » projects - pywvdial 0.4
Fourth version of pyWvDial, a simple and handy frontend for WvDial. The monolithic python script has been splitted in multiple smaller files and everything has been packaged with python distutils. This allows to use setup.py to install the program (which can still be executed out-of-the-box from the source tree).

26 Jun 2008 » projects - pywvdial 0.3
Third version of pyWvDial, a simple and handy frontend for WvDial. With the new configuration window (which supports multiple profiles as well), it's now possible to create and edit WvDial configuration files directly within pyWvDial, using a intuitive graphical interface.

16 Jun 2008 » projects - pywvdial 0.2
Second version of pyWvDial, a simple and handy frontend for WvDial. As main improvement, added support for the interactive WvDial option 'Ask Password' (expecially useful for those who don't like to save passwords in clear text files).

13 Jun 2008 » projects - pywvdial 0.1
I've released the first version of pyWvDial, a simple and handy frontend for WvDial. pyWvDial is pygtk-based, multithread, with trayicon support. More information available in the projects area.

03 Feb 2008 » tarballs - neon-0.26.4 and some new builds
Tarballs update: slackware-current has adopted neon-0.26.4 and the develia.org archive goes with it, too. Consequently, the following neon-dependent software has been recompiled: kdesdk-3.5.8, kdevelop-3.5.0 (third build, desktop section), audacious-plugins-1.4.5 (multimedia), subversion-1.4.6 (development). There's more: ocaml-3.10.1, ocaml-facile-1.1 (both in development section). Thanks to ocaml installed on my system, it was possible to compile the chemical equation solver in kalzium, so there's a new build for kdeedu-3.5.8 as well.

28 Jan 2008 » tarballs - new build for kde 3.5.8 and kde software
Tarballs update. New build for KDE 3.5.8 packages (including arts); fixed a package issue with kde libtool files, which improperly acquired a reference to libGL.la (a file that only belongs to nvidia drivers), thus creating difficulties in kde software compilation when this file was missing. For the same reason, I made a new build for these tarballs as well: amarok-1.4.8, k3b-1.0.4, kaffeine-0.8.6 (multimedia), kftpgrabber-0.8.1, konversation-1.0.1 (networking).

28 Jan 2008 » tarballs - a tag for develia.org packages
Starting from the following updates, tarballs names will be signed with a "dvl" tag, placed next to the build number. Previously, the only difference between a official slackware package and a develia.org one was the target architecture (i486 and i686 respectively). This new tag will allow to easily identify the provenience of tarballs installed on a system. In other words, it was about time that develia.org adopted this naming convention, which is widely spread in the slackware world ;)
